So nostalgia, such wow. Damn. Looks like we're all going to be playing Zelda come holiday season after all, but just not the one we originally anticipated. The mini-NES will be sold at $60, and come pre-installed with 30 classic games.

It’ll also come ready with an HDMI cable, a power adapter, and what Nintendo's now calling an NES Classic Controller, “patterned after the iconic design of the original NES controller.” It’ll be out in stores on November 11.

"This is a VR clone of The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The gameplay and artwork are virtually identical to the original NES classic, however in this version you see the world through Link's eyes, in all of it's virtual 3D 8-bit glory."

If you like Skrillex and The Legend of Zelda, you've probably heard of Skrillex Quest, a new browser-based 8-bit RPG inspired by the classic 1986 NES dungeon raider game and created by developer Jason Oda. The basic storyline follows a hero who is transported to a magical world and tasked with saving the Dead Princess Keys, which is of course heavily accompanied by Skrillex's music.
